		It's important to note that Better Than Ezra is obviously a talented trio.
		There's no question that Better Than Ezra's music is in the same vein as pop rockers like Matchbox Twenty, Everclear (post punk, of course), Diswalla, Blessed Union of Souls, and Third Eye Blind.
		Their music is better than most efforts from these bands, yet their success has been modest to say the least.

		I think Ezra was a killer group and had a great original sound.
		Better than Ezra are pompous and rude to name their band that as clearly they met backstage one day and didn't get along and "the beef" was started.
		Tried to make sense of this statement, but could not, because it seemed better, better than I read, but better than what it was said and it was better.

	Better Than Ezra: Closer - PopMatters Music Review
		At their best, Better Than Ezra could be seen as the band who rightfully inherited the torch of '80s southern power-poppers and jangle rockers before them (think the dB's, Let's Active, Connells, 54-40, early R.E.M.).
		In fact, Better Than Ezra managed to toss in an array of styles they had no business touching in the first place and created a crazy Patchwork Sally of an album that, in reality, was probably their best.
		It seemed that, since Better Than Ezra was on a major label and kept having a difficult time maintaining sales, that the strong arm of A&R was probably guiding them into this forced trendiness.

	CNN - Better Than Ezra break new ground on third album - March 8, 1999
		But on "Garden," Better Than Ezra went from 1994's roots-driven "Deluxe" and 1996's brash, guitar-edged "Friction, Baby" to a deeply experimental, lush and melodious work that veers away from the solid rock that first garnered the trio major radio airplay.
		Better Than Ezra recorded "Garden" in their Fudge Studios, located in their hometown of New Orleans.
		Better Than Ezra play more than 250 shows a year, so recording at home was a respite from the road and a rare treat, says Drummond.

		I suppose if Better Than Ezra did get the recognition it deserves, and suddenly radio, television, and the media all started doing "Ezra" marathons - well, the BTE faithful would probably start pointing fingers and begin yelling "sellout!" I know I would.
		And the truth is, BTE has been quietly making music for me and my friends for years, that should be mainstream, and should be flooding the airwaves.
		On this CD, BTE shows off their immense talent and wide range of musical interests, while never losing the listener's interest from first song to last.

	VOX - Better Than Ezra
		Better Than Ezra is one of those bands that most of us have fallen victim to - you hear a great song on the radio, know the words and sing along when you hear it, but you would be hard-pressed to name the band if asked.
		Effectively mixing their hits with new tunes from How Does Your Garden Grow, Better Than Ezra kept the casual fan in the mix, while also making the die-hard Ezralites (as their fans are known) happy as a lark in the glen.
		By the end of a wonderful evening, BTE had covered miles of sonic terrain, moving effectively from honey-tinged love songs to the metal feel of "Pull" and all points in between.

		Whether from artistic disagreements or just a feeling that BTE was less than the financial success they wanted, Elektra Entertainment dropped BTE from their label.
		Better Than Ezra succeeds at being one of those groups that can muck about with loops and different kinds of sounds, and still be hauntingly poetic, and yet also fun.
		Better than Ezra is primarily made up of Kevin Griffin who is the singer / songwriter / guitarist, Tom Drummond who plays the hell out of the bass, and Travis McNabb who plays the drums.

		If you've seen Better Than Ezra in concert, you'll wish there were a couple random covers (which I suppose would be less than legal, since Kevin usually just sings whatever Outkast song has been on the radio lately) but should other than that be completely satisfied.
		Also like BTE's more recent releases, this album is something you can happily listen to again and again (and sing along with until your voice wears out).
		Deluxe is a solid CD that sounds more similar to artifakt than anything else; the loudest song is "Good," which is not especially heavy (but is such an awesome song).

		Better Than Ezra live at the Edge was better than BTZ on the radio
		Sure, Better Than Ezra writes cheesy yet catchy rock songs that arrest the ear of every radio listener ("Good" dominated Billboard's Modern Rock chart for seven weeks in 1995), but what can't be gleaned from frequent airplay or hourly rotations of its video, is that Better Than Ezra actually has some charm and charisma.
		After a wonderfully raucous performance by Ednaswap, Better Than Ezra vocalist/guitarist Kevin Griffin introduced the group in a fake British accent.

	Better Than Ezra: Closer (2001): Reviews
		Closer is classic BTE: hopeful melodies, lead singer Kevin Griffin's uniquely sweet voice, enough pop to make you sing along and smile but thoroughly substantial and rewarding.
		Unfortunately, this newest attempt at expanding the group's musical horizons is more a lateral move than a vertical one, and the same problems that have plagued Better Than Ezra since Deluxe -- mawkish, derivative material -- undermine this effort as well.
		If the CD player is programmed to just skip a couple of songs, then one can believe that Better Than Ezra really did hop off of a major label and create the assured album they've always wanted to make.
